Saturday, October 10th, 2009Get Magnetic: Practice Conscious Appreciation
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
Ask any neuroscientist – our brains generate electricity. Changes in the brain’s electrical impulses can be consciously self-generated. This is called operant conditioning.
When we choose to alter our thinking, we alter cortical rhythms as well as the brain’s structure. In essence, we become our attention.
My Affirmations for Soul Affirmation Music Project
Monday, February 23rd, 2009
I have been a spiritual seeker all of my life. I took up meditation 25 years ago because I wanted to become enlightened. I wanted to know the mysteries of life. After reading countless books about enlightenment, I became a vegetarian and tried to control all aspects of my life with a desire to become the best I could be. I would spend long hours in meditation and self-inquiry.
Throughout this process, I’ve discovered that enlightenment is about subtraction. Removing impressions, ego, desires, negative thinking, judgements, etc., in order to allow the True Self to shine through.
5 Simple Steps to Enlightenment
Thursday, December 4th, 2008The mind itself is intangible, in fact it does not exist. The surest way to control it is to seek it. Then its activities cease. ~Sri Ramana Maharshi
Enlightenment is your essential being. It is your natural state. There is nothing to be attained, you are already enlightened. When all layers of the onion skin are peeled away, what remains is enlightenment. You will know enlightenment when you experience a quiet allness in nothingness.
Surrender
Let go. Release the past and any desire to want more. Forget your culture, forget your gender. Be open and accept who you are, where you are and where you’ve come from. Be like a freshly fallen leaf at the end of its life cycle, golden in color, gently floating along on the water’s surface, without fighting, without knowing where you’re headed. Enjoy the ride.
Adopt a Lifestyle of Forgiveness
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.” ~Catherine Ponder
Forgiveness is your response to an injustice either toward yourself or others. It is your conscious turning toward the “good” in the face of a wrongdoing.
It is the generosity of a compassionate spirit, where you make a choice to give the gifts of non-judgment, mercy and love.
Inner Heart Song
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is. ~William P. Merrill
Music was my full time career 6 nights a week for 14 years. I’ve also played over 1000 events, weddings and affairs, but last night was my first time playing a kirtan.
Creative Tools for Change: The Practice of Meditation and Positive Affirmations
Thursday, August 14th, 2008I have been a spiritual seeker all of my life. I began practicing meditation twenty-five years ago because I wanted to become enlightened. After reading countless books I would spend long hours in meditation and self-inquiry. In the stillness and silence of meditation, a new understanding bubbled up and revealed who I really am — an individualized unit of pure consciousness.
I’ve discovered an integral part of enlightenment has a great deal to do with subtraction rather than adding more ideation or knowledge. Peeling away subtle layers of conditioned responses, negative self-talk, judgments, compulsive thinking patterns, and expectations, I learned to clarify my awareness and experience my real true Self. Enlightenment is simply waking up to the truth about who you really are. (more…)
Soul Affirmation: My Life With Ken LaDeroute as a Wife, Friend & Singer
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008I’ve been married to Ken since 1983 and I have seen what meditation and affirmations can do for a person first hand. When we met, Ken was hyperactive, moody and searching. He was the guitar player in a band, and I was the singer.
Ken grew up in Kapuskasing, Ontario, a small northern Canadian town where hunting, fishing and cold temperatures where the norm. Ken was a quiet, mild, sensitive kid with thick glasses. His parents struggled, but somehow managed to raise five kids and two additional foster children. They new he was different and they sheltered him. He focused inwardly and often escaped by playing the guitar. Growing up was painful.
He left his small town, moved to a city and got a real job which he hated. Depressed, he finally quit. He wanted to pursue his real love – music. Ken knew in order to survive he had to do some major work on his belief system. He knew he had to stop believing he was that small town kid. He answered an ad, joined a band and came alive playing music and traveling.
Affirmation Music Will Transform You
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008I am a long-time meditator and I am extremely aware of the thoughts I think. Spending time in a “no-mind-content” awareness serves to heighten my consciousness of the thoughts I think on a daily basis. It is like fully experiencing the new, exquisite taste and texture of food after a long fast.
I am the product of my thoughts. My thoughts determine my emotions and feelings, and equally important, they ultimately become how I see myself. Since I am responsible for the creation of my thoughts, I must be intentionally mindful of the thoughts I allow to enter my mind field.
